It has been a few days but I'm going to give a quick recap and then lots of pictures to come later!

Day 2: Welcome Program

On our second day we met at 9:30am and had a small session with our Hostel team. Technically they call the apartments we live in "hostels". Really they are just apartments in different buildings throughout the city. They told us all about what to do if we have an emergency, and how to reach them or a member of the hostel team if need be. We also learned how to go about paying our bills and what bills we actually have to pay. IFT pays for our wi-fi and our gas bill (yep that's right we have a tiny gas tank that will run out at some point they informed us) so that we don't have to. Even when the gas company comes and replaces the tank all we have to do is sign for it and then IFT will pay. It is our responsibility to pay for our water and electricity. We pay the electricity monthly and the water bi-monthly. We haven't had to pay ours yet, but it seems fairly simple. IFT will get the bill and then we can pay at any number of places. The most convinient for us is the 7-Eleven down the street. SIDEBAR: 7-Elevens are extremely popular here. They are on almost every street corner. SIDEBAR OVER After that we took a tour of the campus. It is very small but you could definitely get turned around if you didn't know where you were going.

It's midnight here and tomorrow is the first day of classes, so I'm going to sign off and try to get some shut eye. Till tomorrow!
